What’s a pre-cap? It’s a post that comes before a race recap because you’re too tired to write the recap and also don’t have all the pictures you’d like to use in it, but you’d still like to acknowledge to the blogosphere how it went.

I have many stories from the SF marathon today—some funny, some uplifting, some frustrating—but I’ll be sure to write a kickass recap in the next two days or so filling you in on all of the awesomeness (and horrible-ness) of the event! But for now:

I ran the race. I finished. I did not get hurt. (Victory!)

It was hard and painful.

I got one of these and I didn’t want to take it off.

I got myself a new marathon PR by about 5 minutes. I’ll take it!

After crossing the finish line I looked like this.

(This is the photo that my dad should so boyfriends, instead of awkward stage or baby pictures. this is MUCH more unattractive and embarrassing! Although, as I am now posting it on a blog that comes up immediately when you google my name, I’m pretty much doing the same thing right now.)

Hey, marathoning ain’t pretty. But some of us do it anyway.

I’ll write a real recap soon—until then, a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who wished me well on the blog and via twitter! Your e-support meant a ton to me, so awesome.

I’m off to sleep like a freaking LOG. Been up since 3 and even then I was waking up every half hour ready for race day…

Good night!
